br. A partire da quando la tecnologia si configurò come imprescindibile e fondamentale orizzonte di senso dell'uomo per l'uomo, come universale e macchinatrice nuova scienza della natura all'interno di quella sorta di preistoria del lavoro industriale, meglio ancora, in quella protostoria del lavoro macchinico che fu l'età della manifattura, tra il XVII e la prima metà del XVIII secolo? E ancora: per opera di quali processi la macchina fu posta a un certo punto della storia umana dall'epidermide al cuore della civiltà europea, già prima che essa con la Rivoluzione industriale del carbone, dell'acciaio e dei cavalli vapore divenisse medium privilegiato della divisione del lavoro? Per rispondere a questi urgenti interrogativi, come ad altri in essi impliciti, al tempo della Rivoluzione industriale 4.0, dello sviluppo dell'Intelligenza artificiale e della Smart economy, occorre risalire fino alle origini della prima modernità e precisamente al tempo in cui filosofi del calibro di Galileo Galilei e Isaac Newton, indipendentemente da Dio, dalla Sapienza e dal senso comune, fecero delle loro macchine di misurazione i nuovi ed esclusivi strumenti di ricerca della verità.

Seit dem Wintersemester 2009 ist er Professor für Wissenschaftsgeschichte an der TU Berlin. … (wiki) // … Im Folgenden werde ich zu zeigen versuchen, daß sich bei einem Blick auf die Forschungspraktiken Goethes und der modernen Naturwissenschaft die Kontraposition zwischen den beiden ganz anders ausnimmt. In meiner Argumentation werden wissen-schaftshistorische und wissenschafts-philosophische Überlegungen ineinander greifen. Im ersten Abschnitt werde ich einige Beispiele aus der experimentellen Praxis bei Newton und Goethe skizzieren. Über die Einzelfälle hinausweisend, finden sich hier Charakteristika allgemeinerer Experimentierweisen. Diese zu explizieren, ist das Ziel des zweiten Teiles. Im dritten Abschnitt schließlich werde ich auf einen genuin historischen Punkt zurückkommen. Goethes Experimentierweise verweist auf eine bestimmte Erkenntnissituation, und auf diesem Wege auf eine historische Tradition der Farbenforschung, die der historischen Aufmerksamkeit bislang mehr oder weniger entgangen ist. Unter solchen Perspektiven erscheinen Goethes Arbeiten in einem neuen und angemesseneren Licht. DAS EXPERIMENT BEI NEWTON UND GOETHE . Um die Spezifika von Goethes Arbeitsweise deutlich zu machen, werde ich zunächst, gewissermaßen als Kontrastfolie, den Typ von Experimenten charakterisieren, den Goethe in dem von ihm so heftig kritisierten optischen Arbeiten Newtons vorfand. Newtons erster Aufsatz zu Licht und Farben, 1672. In seiner ersten Veröffentlichung zur Licht- und Farbentheorie, dem berühmten Brief an die Royal Society vom Februar 1672, stellte der 28-jährige und noch unbekannte Isaac Newton ein einzelnes Experiment in den Mittelpunkt (Abb. l). In einen verdunkelten Raum fiel durch ein Loch im Fensterladen Sonnenlicht. Knapp hinter dieser Öffnung plazierte Newton ein Prisma und ließ das gebrochene Licht auf die gegenüberliegende Wand fallen. Der Lichtfleck, das "Spektrum" oder Gespenst, wie Newton es nannte, erwies sich als farbig, wie es schon vor Newton beobachtet worden war. … (Seite 2)
